Leading the theatrical releases is ‘Aag Lagay Basti Mein’, which is a comedy-action film with Fahad Mustafa and Mahira Khan.
With veteran Javed Sheikh and debutant Tabish Hashmi adding depth to the mix, the film involves a combination of humour, chaos and crime, which tends to attract the nation.
‘Bullah’ sees the return of Shaan Shahid as a vigilante backed by Meera, Saleem Sheikh and Naeema Butt with the promise of warm action and emotional storytelling.
